'Rock Band' Canceled In Australia?

According to an unnamed, retailer source brought to you by IGN, Rock Band may never see the light of day in Australia. It's not the content either: Reportedly, retailers down under aren't interested in stocking a big, bulky videogame with fake instruments when Guitar Hero World Tour is coming out in a few months to take up their shelf space.

Rock Band 2 appearing there is in doubt as well for the same reasons. If so: Major victory for Activision's Guitar Hero franchise. We'll let you know when/if we hear anything else.
